The pants go against some of the rules for how to wear cropped pants and yet I'm wilde about how they look on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651788 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 06:29:46 +0000 CocoLion 651788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the existential-sounding clues, however I am still clueless as to who this might be.</p> <p>I like all of the colors and proportions but am struggling with cropped pants in general, after a year of trying to get used to them (and even wearing them at first), I can't do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651751 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 04:08:56 +0000 Angie 651751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not quite understanding the tapering question, but would like to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651641 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 01:39:18 +0000 Jaime 651641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit. I wonder how it would look tapered but only because the idea was planted in my mind by someone wiser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651620 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 01:28:25 +0000 Aida 651620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of mine are sitting to 3 hour shoes. I have been thinking about taking some of the tallest ones in to shorten down to 3" if possible. I'm wondering if maybe taking a 4" shoe and shortening may give us high arch ladies more support than just starting with a 3" shoe to begin with because the shoe shape is still quite arched? We'll see if I ever get around to it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651607 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 01:22:42 +0000 rae 651607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those were my favorite, too. They were fine for sitting all day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651581 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 01:05:42 +0000 Aida 651581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that's no fun! Especially the gold sparkly pair, those are my favorite. Blisters are such a pain (zing!). I am slowly culling my collection of pumps to remove blister-causing pairs as well *sniffle* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651542 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 00:06:21 +0000 rae 651542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Aida! I'm going to pin a dart in and see how it looks. </p> <p>The masculine looks definitely needed some femme shoes, which is why I kind of went against my judgement and wore the pumps. This is the first pair I have not regretted wearing because of various blisters - my ombre pumps left huge toe blisters, and my pretty glitter ones left huge heel blisters. Fancy occasions only from here on out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651540 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 00:00:28 +0000 Aida 651540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I like this a lot! Though I'm on Team Taper (sounds like it'll be tough though?). I am SO enjoying seeing your pretty pumps make appearances again! Are you in the mood for them more lately or do you think it's that the manspiration outfits may need femming up more than your usual looks? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651356 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:09:48 +0000 rae 651356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah! Cathy, you got it! *high five*</p> <p>I know this was not the best clue ever, but I could not resist using one of my favorite passages from one of my favorite novels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651297 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:09:08 +0000 cciele 651297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You make quite a beautiful picture there, with your Gray cropped pants!</p> <p>Honestly though, your outfit made me gasp too. Sublime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651145 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 16:06:53 +0000 rae 651145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, for tapering... would a dart in the front center of the shin, from about knee to bottom hem, look okay? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651141 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 16:02:51 +0000 Meredith1953 651141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae,<br /> Those are lovely pants! I love the pattern with that white blouse! The nude shoes look great with it. I agree that tapering the pant would be ideal. Couldn't guess the manspiration though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651124 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:39:30 +0000 rae 651124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, very interesting guesses! It took me a while to figure out who KL was but, now that I think I know it, I think it is a great guess!</p> <p>Angie and Kirti, I have thought about tapering these - the thing is I can't do it myself because there is some piping at the edge, the curve, and full length side zippers (??) to deal with. Out of my depth. I just barely managed to fit into them again, too. The reaction is good enough so far that I may ask around for a tailor rec. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651094 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:18:41 +0000 Inge 651094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE those maxi checks on your pants, Rae. Love this entire outfit, and like Jonesy I'm thinking KL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651091 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:16:17 +0000 Kirti 651091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I agree with Angie about rhe tapering,but you carry these pants off SO well rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651070 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:03:59 +0000 Angie 651070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to taper the cropped trousers, but the nude shoe helps out that leg line! </p> <p>Love the blouse and the checks on those pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651069 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:03:43 +0000 Diana 651069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh, I feel like I should know who this is but I don't!</p> <p>I really like your cropped pants! Even though in principle this length and width seems like it would be difficult, these manage to be super flattering and not stumpifying at all. The curved hem at the bottom is a really cool detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651068 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:01:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 651068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I literally gasped out loud when I saw your outfit Rae! Where have you been hiding those cropped trousers? LOVE LOVE LOVE them - the blue piping (is that you call it?) is fantastic. And the white, partial tuck, flowy blouse is the perfect partner for them.</p> <p>I actually think I kow this one and agree with Jonesy on KL. You realize how much fun we're having with your manspiration month right??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651066 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:58:46 +0000 Jonesy 651066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness--love the clues! I'm going with KL (nicknamed The Kaiser) as your manspiration :)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manspiration-month-day-21-featuring-cropped-pants#post-651061 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:56:13 +0000 rae 651061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An outfit is the collection of beautiful things. To reveal the person and conceal the clothes is the outfit's aim. The fashion critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.</p> <p>There is no such thing as a good or an bad outfit. Outfits are well executed, or badly executed. That is all.</p> <p>This century's dislike of cropped pants is the rage of Caliban seeing his own short legs in a glass.</p> <p>All outfits are at once surface and symbol. </p> <p>All outfits are quite useless. </p>
